Italy ·
Irritec is an Italian micro-irrigation company founded in 1974 by Rosario Giuffrè together with his brother Cono and his son Carmelo, and based in Capo d'Orlando in the province of Messina. It operates as Irritec S.p.A., a Benefit Corporation, a legal form under which a company pursues social and environmental aims alongside profit. Irritec supplies components for field crops, orchards and protected cultivation, and also handles the international distribution of Raphael By Talis products.
Irritec's portfolio lets a grower build a complete system around a particular crop. Drip lines and tapes deliver water close to the roots, filters protect the emitters from clogging, valves and water meters control and measure what each section receives, and automation runs the schedule. With fertigation equipment, soluble fertiliser is dosed into the irrigation water so that nutrients reach the root zone in small, frequent amounts. The company also runs initiatives such as Irritec Academy and Agrilab.

## Size of the business

Irritec reports product distribution in more than 100 countries and over 1,000 employees across the organisation as a whole.

### What does Irritec offer?

Irritec offers drip lines and tapes, pipes and fittings, filters, valves and water meters, and automation and fertigation equipment.

### How should a buyer make contact?

Sales are organised by country and business unit, and the company website lists the local contacts. Describing the crop and application, the size of the project and the required timing helps the supplier respond.
